Working Yard Environment

Totleywells operates as a working equestrian yard. By entering or attending any show, clinic, or hire, all participants acknowledge that their horses may be exposed to normal yard activities, including vehicles, machinery, maintenance work, announcements, and other horses.

Participants are fully responsible for the supervision, control, and welfare of their horse at all times, whether mounted, being loaded/unloaded, or tied up. Totleywells cannot accept responsibility for any loss, damage, injury, or incident arising from a horse's reaction to normal working-yard activity.

If you believe your horse may find this environment challenging, we recommend bringing additional supervision or reconsidering attendance.
